Reading Roundup: What’s New in Blogging Lately?

Happy Saturday! (or Friday, if that’s where you’re at). We’ve been working hard this week on shaking up the content plan around this place so I’m super excited to see where the next few months will take us, and keen to get started. I hope you’re feeling as motivated as I am right now! It’s a nice place to be.

We all know word of mouth is the best kind of advertising, and these conversations are happening on social media every day. I love their ideas on how to hone in on the people spreading the word, but also the reminder: you have to make it worthwhile for the influencer.

This gave me food for thought as I’ve been talking recently with people who have turned their comments off and briefly wondered what that would look like for me. Nice to know that they play a role in SEO though.

I was watching Darren’s Snapchats from his time in San Diego – it looked amazing! Love these tips too, especially “experiment constantly”, the stuff on automation, and the qualitative social media benefits.

Because there’s nothing worse than spending all your time on things that don’t work.

So what caught your eye this week? Is it time to do an overhaul of your workflow to ditch what’s not successful? Have you been experimenting? What books have you been reading? I’d love to hear in the comments. Have a great week!

These look like some really interesting blog posts, and I certainly want to get to each of them… ah, the to do list.

I guess the first one I should get to is learning to be a “content machine” so I can write those long, long, long blog posts.

Actually, I’m already feeling like a content machine just by virtue of my 1500-2000 word weekly blog post. But, hey, I must write 10x that on blog comments, forums and guest gigs, so yea… I’m a content machine. Now to be a better one.
